terryfreedman loved The Rough Guide to Graphic Novels 1
Surely the next best thing to reading a book is reading a review of it? I’m really enjoying this cornucopia of 60 graphic novel summaries and reviews, and biogs

terryfreedman liked Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution—and How It Can Renew America
Haven’t finished yet, so not fully decided. Excellent research, but maybe another book with 1 idea repeated 20 times? But well-written, and v. thought-provoking

terryfreedman loved Leading A Digital School
This is a great book, essential reading for all educators who lead on ICT in their school. Various authors, and various approaches. I’ll be reviewing this soon.

terryfreedman loved Quantum of Solace
Peeps say the story is thin. Exactly! Who needs a plot? That just means u have 2 think, instead of enjoying it on a visceral level. Gr8 action, beautiful girls!

terryfreedman disliked Detective novels
I’ve been reading detective novels. Why are they so formulaic? Why are m writers obsessed with f attire? Why does the proof always appear on the very last page?

terryfreedman loved The Oxford Style Manual
If you do a lot of writing, or a perfectionist, this is a vg one-stop shop. It covers things like punctuation, fonts, numbers, even captions. Well-written too.

terryfreedman loved Tallis: Spem in Alium; The Lamentations of Jeremiah etc.
Turn the lights off, lie down, and for 8 minutes or so be transported to a different time and place. Try to get hold of a Cambridge Choir version if you can.

terryfreedman loved Sky Technofile
I really like this weekly technology news show because it is short, interesting and completely non-flashy. http://snipurl.com/2zbl5 Episode 76 is great: retro!

terryfreedman liked RSS for Educators: Blogs, Newsfeeds, Podcasts, and Wikis in the Classroom
The book is mainly about applications that make use of RSS rather than RSS. Very good section on use in schools. Disappointingly little on advanced RSS.

terryfreedman liked Wonder Woman: Marketing Secrets for the Trillion Dollar Customer
For a marketing book based on biology, this is surprisingly readable. The single most important msg is that it’s more than about making things pink & fluffy.

terryfreedman liked Researching Online (Palgrave Study Guides)
Contains useful information and guidance on evaluating online sources of information. Two of the 3 links I tried were defunct. No web page containing the links.

terryfreedman loved Oxford Fowler’s Modern English Usage Dictionary
With the English language being continually eroded by management-speak and political correctness, this point of reference preserves both my prose and my sanity.

terryfreedman liked Wicked Cool PHP: Real-World Scripts That Solve Difficult Problems
I’m not a php programmer. However, every so often I come across a glitch, and don’t want to have to learn php in order to solve it. This is a practical solution

terryfreedman liked Podcasting for Teachers: Using a New Technology to Revolutionize Teaching and Learning (Emerging Technologies for Evolving Learners)
Well-written and practical, this would be useful for any teacher thinking about podcasting. As well as the technicalities, it covers issues like assessment.

terryfreedman loved Lily Was Here
I’ve been wondering for years who the saxophonist on this was, and then found out by accident. The only thing wrong with this is that there is not enough of it!

terryfreedman liked Notes from a Big Country
I like this type of book, with gentle pokes at everyday life. This one talks about the USA. But I can recognise elements of British society too. Good humored.

terryfreedman liked Writer’s Digest Flip Dictionary
When you can’t think of the right word, this comes in really handy, as it lets you look up the definition. Also contains lots of other useful info. USA-oriented

terryfreedman liked Learning And Teaching With Virtual Learning Environments (Practial Handbooks)
Very nice book. Cuts thru the jargon, explaining things in a clear and logical way. Tips, case studies and good style ensure that the reader is not intimidated.

terryfreedman loved Go On, Bore ’Em
I really like this book, probably cos I wrote it. Erudite, witty and incisive, it is a “must” on every ICT teacher’s bookshelf.

terryfreedman liked Who Will Write Our History?: Emanuel Ringelblum, the Warsaw Ghetto, and the Oyneg Shabes Archive (The Helen and Martin Schwartz Lectures in Jewish Studies)
Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “The devil is in the detail”. It gives info about individuals, not just mass numbers. Hard going

terryfreedman loved The Well-Fed Self-Publisher: How to Turn One Book into a Full-Time Living
Uncompromising in its condemnation of POD, still a good read, with loads of info (USA-biased tho). AND the author actually self-published!

terryfreedman loved Le Freak
Call me retro or an old fogey, but after all these years I STILL love disco. This record epitomises the joie-de-vivre of that era, despite the song’s origins.

terryfreedman loved So What?
There are several versions of this song, but the acid jazz rendering by Ronny Jordan is superb. Listen to it here: http://snipurl.com/2kq63

terryfreedman disliked Biggles in Spain
I borrowed this from the library as I read a review of Johns’ bio. It’s ok if you enjoy stuff like “Dashed if I know how, chaps”. Give me Andy McNab any day!
